Historic Lancaster
Roofing Around Square 13 and the Lancaster Historic District
Lancaster was laid out in 1800, first under the name New Lancaster, and much of that original town now falls inside the Lancaster Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1983. The district takes in the earlier West Main Street and Square 13 historic districts, with Square 13 running along Broad and High Streets between Mulberry and Chestnut.
The city keeps a historic commission area, and it uses an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior changes there. If your home sits on one of those older blocks, check the city's map before choosing new materials. Outside that area, the Lancaster Building and Zoning Department takes permit applications by email, in person or by mail, and it can tell you what a particular project needs.
The older houses on these blocks bring their own roofing puzzles. A tear off here can uncover two or three layers of past shingles, brick chimneys whose flashing has been patched with tar more than once and board decking that needs a few replacement sections. We show you what turns up before the new roof goes on, so the decisions stay yours.
A Roofer in Lancaster, Ohio Who Watches the Hilltops
Lancaster's best known landmark is Mount Pleasant, a sandstone bluff in Rising Park on the north side of town that rises roughly 250 feet. Earlier Native American peoples called it Standing Stone, and the trail up from the park leads to a view over much of the city.
That rolling ground shapes how storms hit local homes. A house on a rise or at the end of an open field takes the full force of a summer gust, while a home tucked under old shade trees is more likely to see limbs come down on the roof. As a roofer in Lancaster, Ohio neighborhoods, we look at both: the shingles facing the prevailing wind and the branches hanging over the eaves.
After a storm, we inspect the whole roof and make temporary repairs when water is getting inside. We also help you photograph and document the damage for your insurance company.
Siding Contractor in Lancaster for Vinyl, Trim and Gutters
Siding takes as much weather as the roof does. Vinyl that has faded, warped or cracked lets water behind the wall, and loose trim pieces are often the first sign. As a siding contractor in Lancaster, we install new vinyl siding and trim so the whole exterior matches once the roof is done.
Gutter installation in Lancaster, OH homes is the other half of keeping water away from the house. We hang aluminum gutters and downspouts sized for the roofline, which matters most on older houses whose original gutters were small or have pulled away from the fascia. Pairing new gutters with a new roof means the drip edge, fascia and gutters line up the first time.

Along the US 33 Bypass to Baltimore, Carroll and Pickerington
Since 2005, US 33 has bypassed Lancaster as a limited access freeway that begins at Carroll, and it links the city to the towns around it. We work along that corridor and beyond it, including Baltimore, Carroll and Pickerington, and the Fairfield County Fair each October in the second week of the month is a good reminder to book fall gutter work.
H&R Contractors LLC is based in Circleville and also serves Circleville, Columbus and Chillicothe. Every other town we cover is listed with our central Ohio service areas. Wherever you are along the corridor, a roofing contractor in Lancaster, OH and the towns nearby should give you a written plan before any shingle comes off, and that is how we work.
Lancaster Roofing Questions We Hear Often
Does my house in the Lancaster Historic District need approval for a new roof?
It may. Lancaster keeps a historic commission area and an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior changes inside it. Check the city's historic commission map for your address before choosing materials. Outside that area, the Lancaster Building and Zoning Department can tell you what permit, if any, your roofing project requires.
Do you replace roofs on homes near Rising Park and Mount Pleasant?
Yes. The neighborhoods around Rising Park on the north side of Lancaster are part of our regular service area. Homes near the park often sit under mature trees, so we check for limb damage, clogged valleys and worn flashing, then quote a repair or a full replacement with Atlas asphalt shingles.
Can you install new gutters at the same time as my Lancaster roof?
Yes, and it often saves work. Replacing gutters while the roof is open lets us set the drip edge and fascia correctly so the new aluminum gutters and downspouts carry water where they should. Ask for both on the same free estimate, and the scope will show each item separately with no hidden fees.
Do you also work in Baltimore and Carroll?
Yes. Baltimore is on the list of towns we serve, and Carroll and the rest of the US 33 corridor around Lancaster are covered as well. The process does not change from town to town: a free estimate, a written scope, a clean job site and new Atlas asphalt shingles on every full replacement.
